Black Salt, Black Stone is a storytelling and creative exchange project produced by Studio Kiin that connects Black diasporas. Through a series of online talanoa, in-person gatherings, and installation activations across Oceania we re-imagine the “festival model” and explore what futurism means from our own cultural, political, and personal perspectives - whether rooted in ancestral knowledge, spiritual cosmologies, sci-fi visions, or everyday acts of dreaming forward to vision Black Oceania together. In our Performance Arcade container installation, African and Melanesian artists based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Wairarapa, Whangārei, Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai, Boorloo, Gimuy, and London invite you to engage with their reflections on the relationship between memory and temporality.
